to be fair, in a low-selling vinyl market, no 51 is probably 50 copies. ;) 

"Janet" is #37 now.

Sales are low in general today, but they are still an indication of popularity. Janet's album from 1993 is charting higher than new releases by Ariana Grande, Prince, and Madonna. I doubt La Toya Jackson would manage to do that. ?

Doesn’t change the fact that Kylie is well more popular globally than JJ ?

Worldwide, JJ has sold over 160 million records, compared to Kylie’s 80 million. Different story in the UK though. Kylie is 14th highest in terms of singles sales whilst JJ isn’t in the top 60.

Yes, in the UK Kylie is definitely bigger, I never questioned that.

Early in 1987, LaToya recorded "Ain't nobody loves you (like I do)", written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. For unknown reasons, the single was never released in the UK.

In December 1987, Kylie released "I should be so lucky", her first single from SAW and her first UK number one. SAW went on to produce Kylie's first four studio albums, generating no less than 15 hit singles and several UK number ones.

LaToya could should have had Kylie's career!

Reminder that Latoya Jackson is the co-writer of "Reggae Night" by Jimmy Cliff, clearly a bigger hit than anything released by either Janet or Kylie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a hit, but how is that a bigger hit than anything by Janet and Kylie? It topped the chart only in New Zealand, and it didn't even chart in the US and UK. Janet has the longest running number-one single of any member of the Jackson family, including Michael.

I have nothing against La Toya, though. I like her personality and she's a talented songwriter, but not a very good performer. I think that's the reason she never had a big career.

^Facts are facts.

Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Adele, and Ariana Grande are only female artists with multiple 7+ weeks Hot 100 #1 hits.

Janet's longest running number ones are "All for You," the longest-running No. 1 hit of 2001, and "That's the Way Love Goes," the longest-running No. 1 hit by any member of the Jackson family.

Janet Jackson has posted all 33 of her weeks at No. 1, from ten No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, in a lead role — without featured artists or co-lead artists. She has either written, co-written, arranged, produced or co-produced each of her No. 1 songs, and on one was even featured playing piano in addition to vocals.

She's ranked by Billboard the 3hd most successful female artist of all time, and 7th overall, one place higher than her brother Michael.

just given that a listen. :blink: 
(and i'm a big Jimmy fan!)

It's a cod-reggae version of a disco classic isn't it? Can't have taken much co-writing. ;)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
